Claude Monet is high-key - luminous, open, and weighted toward light. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #9A8664 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (9.5%). Spanning 53 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. This is palette 8 of Claude Monet's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
